Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.

A wonderful but kind of a ter...

A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.

The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

I don't watch television, but...

I don't watch television, but I saw 'The Office' by accident. I thought it was so sophisticated, the Victorian love story, and so bold. We'd do anything, all of us, to not work in that environment, and then I'm sitting there watching hours of it.

I've found that Hollywood's a really honest business. They don't pull any punches. They tell you exactly what you want-I want the fake breasts and the flat car and the big pool. You know, they're real up-front about it.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

It may or may not sound prete...

It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.

The trick to being a good act...

The trick to being a good actor is getting so involved in your character that the camera disappears, the 50 bored guys eating doughnuts disappear, friends disappear. To get to that point when you don't have to think about it, you're just acting and reacting in those circumstances.

I went to public school in L.A., so I felt like I'd been in a coma for three years. I woke up, and moved to New York.

Give me the compliments. I love compliments. I was born modest, but it wore off.

It sounds corny to say, but the theater is sacred; something transcendent can occur, and when it does, everyone grows. It's a true communion.

A hundred million dollars in ...

A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.

Art is a way to get strength ...

Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.

So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

Everything in high school was...

Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, "The cops, the cops, the cops..." I was what you call the buzz kill.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

You just don't understand hum...

You just don't understand humility until you have children and get divorced. I was very hurt and very angry and so was she. But when kids are involved, you either become friends with respect or you become mortal enemies.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

My only challenge is to enter...

My only challenge is to entertain. And I accomplish my task better when I myself am entertained by what I am doing. I am very critical of myself, I constantly set the bar higher and higher. I try to surpass myself. That`s all. But I also know how to preserve myself, to not let myself get bedazzled by the smoke and mirrors.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm ...

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing back in Los Angeles, but when you look out there... How can you complain when you see a whale cresting, matter-of-factly, as you make your breakfast?

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

I'm going to put a museum on ...

I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, "That's a huge idea." Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

I'm not just an actor born in...

I'm not just an actor born in L.A. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clich?d than that.

Val Kilmer 131 quotes

Life is precious, and when so...

Life is precious, and when someone dies it's an opportunity to realise how precious it is. My brother drowned when I was 17. He was 15. I think I grew from that. My father didn't. It really crushed him.
